Sippin’ Green Gazpacho
This zippy, herbaceous drinkable soup is like a trip to the farmers’ market in a glass.
Crunchy Quinoa Salad
Feel free to vary the vegetables in this salad according to what you have in your garden or find at the farmers' market.
Kimchi and Summer Squash Baked Eggs
No matter what time of day, these delicious baked eggs made with tangy kimchi and fresh summer squash are a delightfully flavorful dish.
Homemade "Dole Whip"
As any Disney Park fanatic can tell you, it’s not a visit to the Magic Kingdom without a helping of this tropical, dairy-free, soft-serve–like dessert. Now you can make magic at home.
Peach and Pomegranate Pavlova
Pomegranate seeds look stunning sprinkled simply over the top of this pavlova. Their vibrant color really lifts the dessert, and the way they burst in your mouth complements the chewy meringue beautifully. I use sliced canned peaches when peaches are out of season; they work just as well.
Traditional Sauerkraut with Caraway
Cabbage is perfect for fermenting because the cell walls are easily broken down with salt, and the juices that are released quite easily make the brine. While you are chopping and grating your cabbage, eat a piece raw. It will be crunchy and sweet. After fermentation it will be pretty crunchy still, shiny and alive-looking; the sugars will have been eaten by the lactobacillus bacteria (et al); and the sauer that you taste is the lactic acid cleverly produced by the lactobacillus.
Lemon Dijon Dressing
Toss this simple dressing through an easy summer salad.
Torn Zucchini With Mint and Calabrian Chiles
No, you don’t have to tear the zucchini with your hands, but it makes for a cool presentation—and we all know it’s way more fun than using a knife.
Coconut-Lime Dressing
This dressing is delicious on a colorful cold noodle salad with shrimp.
Ground Beef Tacos
When you're craving those childhood favorite Tex-Mex flavors, nothing but seasoned ground beef in a hard shell will do.
Grilled Lemon-Garlic Chicken and Potatoes
Everything for this simple, Spanish-inspired dish gets tossed in the same lemon, garlic, and smoked paprika marinade, then cooked in a grill basket for an easier, faster way to grill dinner.
Sheet-Pan Eggs Are the Easiest Way to Make Eggs for a Crowd
The best part? There's no whisking required.
Sheet-Pan Eggs
Want to make eggs ahead of time? Bake them in a sheet pan, slice and chill for up to three days, and serve in breakfast sandwiches, wraps, quesadillas, and more.
Boozy Concord-Grape Ice Pops
If you want boozier pops, increase the gin to 1/3 cup. They will still freeze but not quite as hard, and they will get slushy quickly once unmolded.
Charred Sweet Potatoes With Honey and Olive Oil
Japanese sweet potatoes are starchier than yams and worth seeking out. Steaming before grilling keeps them moist.
My Favorite Meringue
The ingredients for a meringue are very simple; you need double the weight of sugar to egg whites. It is easy to make any quantity of meringue if you follow this 2:1 ratio.
Vegetarian Taco Salad With Creamy Avocado-Lime Dressing
Here's my vegetarian taco salad of romaine and peppery arugula tossed in a creamy, avocado-lime dressing. Chili-flavored quinoa and black beans make it hearty.
Border Salad
Make this salad ahead of time to allow the flavors to become bolder. This is delicious in a bowl as a refreshing summer meal. Or serve this on top of a plate of assorted greens or bowl of cooked grains, rolled up in a tortilla, or as a topping for baked potatoes.
Vegan Niçoise-Style Salad
Salade Niçoise is a beautifully composed salad of French origin that looks fancy but is incredibly easy to make. The traditional version is often made with tuna, but here the fish is replaced with baked tofu, which makes a great stand-in. And the array of ingredients—white beans or chickpeas, slender green beans, tomatoes, and olives—makes it a splendid main dish salad for a summer meal, either on busy weeknights or festive occasions.
Chicharrón Casera
Large jagged sheets of chicharrón, or pork crackling, can be found at any Mexico City market. Homemade chicharrón is wonderful with pico de gallo, any salsa, guacamole, or cooked in green sauce and served in a taco when soft.
